What do you always have in the booth?

How did you come to performing audiobooks?

After years performing on local stages and in front of cameras in many amazing roles, I realised I wanted to make acting my life. One small complication: I am not a city person! I love the peace of rural living, and having my own land for my horses was a competing dream. I don’t remember when I discovered Librivox, a volunteer-run site for narration of public domain texts, but I do remember the joy of discovering that I could perform at home in my sweatpants, on my own schedule, play all the parts, read books, and eventually get paid to do it. I booked my first paid narration gig in 2014 and the rest is history!

Anything else you’d like a listener to know?

Machines will never replace the magic and artistry of humans. We must all resist the push to accept AI-generated facsimiles of creativity in our lives. Support human authors, narrators, actors, writers, artists, and creatives of all kinds!
